Divorce Me Before Death Takes Me, CEO

Chapter 407

Chapter 408

Rachel’s POV

I snatched the phone from Mom’s hand, my fingers trembling slightly as news alerts flooded the screen. Every major outlet was running with the same headline: violence at Parker Group’s underground garage.

Social media was blowing up with theories. Some claimed the dead were kidnappers, others insisted it must be a Parker executive. Police at the scene were tight-lipped, giving reporters the standard “ongoing investigation” line.

What caught my eye were the comments flooding in below the live videos:

“If it wasn’t someone important, why would police and Parker Group hide the identity?”

“Twenty minutes without a statement from Parker PR? Has to be Blake.”

“Parker Group’s communications team responds to everything within minutes. The silence speaks volumes.”

“Sources confirm Blake Parker at Mayo Clinic, fighting for his life!”

My stomach twisted as I stared at the screen. When I rushed downstairs to confront her, all I could think about was Blake. My future husband. The man I’d secretly wanted for years. Of course I was worried about him.

But after hearing Mom casually admit she’d planned to kill him, my perspective shifted dramatically.

Part of me – a cold, calculating part I barely recognized – actually hoped Blake was dead.

Not because I’d stopped caring for him. Not because I truly wanted him gone.

But because I had nowhere to run if Blake survived.

He’d wake up. He’d investigate. He’d discover I’d arranged Emma’s kidnapping, that Mom had hired people to kill him. And Blake Parker wasn’t known for
